A 5-hr storm over a 15-ac basin produces a 5-in. rainfall: 1.2 in./hr for the first hour, 2.1 in./hr for the second hour, 0.9 in./hr for the third hour, and 0.4 in./hr for the last 2 hr. Determine the infiltration that would result from the Horton model with k = 1.1/hr, fe = 0.2 in./hr, and fo = 0.9 in./hr. Plot the overland flow for this condition in in./hr vs. t.
